    I remember some blokes I worked with back in the 80's did a trip to the States and bought from the way it was described a "Grizwallds" type of wagon Must of been three on the tree as they reckon when they went to do a racing changing they would grab the door handle Dunno exactly how this happened but made for a good yarn Paul

    They sold them well into the late 70's in Australia They were never that popular, I saw one in a yard within the last few months A mob in Tasmania that ran Scanias exclusively and had them as well and on Faceless book I see they have aquired one and it is now getting fully restored in their work shop https://youtu.be/YPwtJ89jes4 Paul

    I dunno if I agree with a lot of whats been said I dont like anyone telling me what to do with my toys and I dont tell anyone else what to do If they wanna sell or just keep them as they rust away thats their business and I respect them for that As to the truck were talking about, good luck with it as it looks like a lotta work Paul

    I do recall this and have tried searching for information about the moto6and his conversion Not a lot to be found on the interweb Some sites claim it never ran and he was a con man, others claim he was 100% legit and fuel companies are behind it We will never know Paul

    Apparently we have had ultra low sulphur diesel in Australia since 2009, I had no idea what you blokes are even talking about so had to do some googling Long and the short of it is that I have never had a drama and dont know of anyone having dramas I have never added anything but just straight diesel to the tanks and have never had a issue A bit like ethanol ULP, thats all I use and I add nothing and dont have any dramas even in small petrol engines So either Im the luckiest man alive or other people get caught up in the B.S. Paul

    Earthmoving style rims have that o ring your talking about when tubeless As far as spacers go, if you find you need a wider spacer just weld a bit of 3/8 rod around, if still need more space weld another piece of 3/8 rod around the other side Just need to make sure the wedges dont bottom out on duels Paul

    The business end of the truck Looks in reasonable nick

    Looking pretty sad but I guess it served it's purpose Not something I would have done cutting the chassis but it's not mine so none of my business Plenty of trucks are stretched, then shortened, then stretched before their lives are over It doesn't seem to weaken the chassis if done right Good luck Paul

    I was only telling my brother about this truck a few weeks ago as he was talking about getting a 6x6 something or other but has also thought about a Cruiseliner or Ultraliner I suggested maybe between a exarmy 6x6 R model and a Cruiseliner he could make something pretty special, even sent him the link to the specs on these and the Australian Army R models , same front axle and transfer case in both I believe Anyway he bought a Tatra 6x6 375 hp job from QLD Goes ok he tells me but I doubt it will ever have the cool factor Paul

    Sure was a different movie, when it aired on local tv my parent's let me stay up late and watch it I left a mark on my mind, I bought the dvd a few years ago and the Princess just laughed and talked all the way thru, she is banned from watching truck movies with me 🤔 This means I hardly ever get to watch what I want any more Paul

    Princess had a John Deere ride on with rhe Kwacka (Kawasaki to none Australian parts of the world) and it 26 years old and out lasted the mower by a long way I had to put a coil on it and new brushes in the starter motor, a incredible little motor and cut well over a acre of lawn ever week or so for all of those years Paul

    South Africa did this in the days of Apartheid They made parts for everything and did for many many years Paul

    This I feel is the biggest reason in Australia that internet sales have taken off The store just doesn't want to deal with the problem at all If I buy it over the internet and have a problem a fresh one is on the way thr next day, no arguments, no "do you have the docket" It just happens And the otgerother thing you mention, they only want to sell you whats on the floor not what you want Paul
  22. mrsmackpaul
    Could you explain this a little further I have no idea about Sears as they were never in Australia, curious as to what and why Paul
  23. mrsmackpaul
    I would be guessing the add spares are coming thru a country thst doesn't have sanctions with the US Paul
  24. mrsmackpaul
    One heck of a ute Looks like it has the worlds biggest thermo fan Paul
  25. mrsmackpaul
    I have never known of this happening to anyone before Very unlucky but also very lucky if that makes any sense Good luck sorting it out Paul
